For my own part, correctness is an *extremely* important goal for a
software project that wants to thrive over time. And things that
violate correctness or the principal of least surprise should go. They
limit future development efforts and scare away end-users and decision
makers. I will gladly accept a deprecation cycle if this turns out to
be something core devs believe is important.
